Given the finite probability of its occurance...
..and we are unlucky enough to discover a magnetar close enough to us.. what would be the worst case senario?
Asteroids can be "pushed" out of the way.. what are our options in case of a magnetic outage?
Just wondering... What if this event had to happen much closer to earth?
say 500 Light years..
The magnetic storm woud be thousands of times more powerful How would that affect life here on earth...
